Drum: So this is the power of the Demon King huh?

*Bell just stood there with his arms crossed, his aura glowing around him like a wildfire. His smile was super sinister and his turquoise colored eyes glowed*

Bell: So Drum Koryu, how do you like the power of the newly evolved Belial!!

*Drum looked down at his bey and it glowed with a rainbow colored twinkle, Drum smiled and looked back up at Bell*

Drum: You're pretty interesting i'll give you that, but we're gonna show you how truly serious we can get!

*The highlights on Drums hair began to glow and flicker with a blue flame as the diamonds on Bells head began to glow too*

Bell: Alright now, let's do this thing!

Ranzo: 2nd Battle!!

*The 2 bladers took their positions and the battle finally began*

Ranzo: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Dragon was picking up some major speed right off the bat*

Bell: Interesting, go for it now Belial!!

*Belial slams into Dragon with full force and the Dragon Heads had extended with the frontal blades sliding back instantly*

Bell: W-What?!

Drum: I already knew exactly what you were going to do!

*Dragon speeds up around the stadium at full speed and comes in for the attack*

Bell: We're not giving up that easily, Divine Counter!!

*Dragon clashes with Belial but was knocked back instantly from Belials counterstrike, Dragon hits the wall but kept on going*

Bell: Now go! Adventure Shoot!!

Drum: Dragon Shoot!!

*Belial and Dragon clashed back and forth with powerful consecutive blows, neither one was going to back down so easily and finally, Dragon was knocked back*

---

*Ranzo observed the battle with full intent and watched Belial closely*

Ranzo: Belial is managing to take Dragons attacks blow for blow, and not only that but it can even mimic its Sliding Blade attack using the D-Gear.. Bell must have some kind of plan in place now..

---

Bell: End this!!

*Belial and Dragon clashed even more as sparks started to fly and bolts of electricity surged throughout the stadium*

Drum: Time to get seriously serious! Gatling Snap!!

*Dragons sliding blade jerks forward and slashes against Belial with full force and it was sent flying out of the stadium immediately*

Bell: W-What the?!

Drum: Tch.. it wasn't a burst this time?

Ranzo: Gatling Dragon with an Over Finish! Drum Koryu earns 1 point!!

Drum: Aw man! Why wasn't it a burst!?!

*Bell reached down and picked up his bey but in doing so, he could somehow hear Chiyoh's voice in his head somehow, he shook his head trying to ignore it and snapped back to reality*

Bell: Dragon is so strong but we're stronger than him for sure, he just got lucky..

Drum: Bell really is living up to the name of the Demon King, the score is tied now so let's see what he's got in store in the 3rd Battle. Let's do this thing, Dragon!

Ranzo: Alright, 3rd Battle!!

Bell: Belial.. let's show them our true power!!

*Bell's eye began to glow with a quick flicker of burning flames*

Ranzo: Ready Set!!!

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Belial was wasting no time going on the attack, it charges towards Dragon with full speed as the rubber on its Adventure Driver began to steam and spark with intense heat*

Bell: Go!!

Drum: Dragon!!

*Dragon was able to dodge the attack and Belial went right past it but it recovers and comes back around for the next attack*

Bell: You're not getting away that easily!

*Belial comes back around and fires off an all out assault on Dragon, dealing intervals of unbelievable damage*

Drum: Break through it! Dragon!!

*Dragons blades extended outward and the Sliding Blades moved backwards, Dragon broke free and sped around the stadium once again, its speed increasing rapidly*

Bell: We're just getting started now bring it on!

*Belial's D-Gear rotated to the Left and Belial was starting to accelerate even more, its aura glowing super bright*

Bell: Adventure Shoot!!

Drum: Dragon Shoot!!

*Belial and Dragon clashed back and forth with full force, bolts of electricity burst forth from the stadium and whipped past the 2 bladers*

Bell: I won't lose here! Crush them now!!

*Belial started to push Dragon back*

Drum: Not if i have anything to say about it!

*...But Dragon managed to escape!*

---

*Ranzo watched the battle nervously, he was shocked at the level of skill that Drum was displaying*

Ranzo: This isn't good.. If this keeps up, Bell may not have enough stamina to use his D-Gear..!

---

*Light blue flames burst from the highlights on Drums hair and began to glow brightly as Drums aura burst to life*

Drum: Now let's do this thing! Dragon!!!

Drum: Time to get ultimately serious! Gatling Rush!!

*Dragon hits the rim of the stadium and starts to speed up greatly, its speed reaching supersonic speeds*

Bell: We're not going down here, just you watch! Go for it Belial, destroy them!!

Belial: Leave it to me..

*Belial hits the rim of the stadium too and starts to speed up greatly too*

Bell: Dragon will be annihilated right here and now! Adventure Flash!!

*Belial finally caught up to Dragon and it lost a click right there*

Drum: Time to get seriously serious! Gatling Snap, finish it!!

*Dragon speeds around the stadium as its frontal blades glowed with a golden streak of energy*

Bell: Ignite and Destroy! Divine Bomber!!

*Belial and Dragon clash with all their might as the stadium erupts with a burst of energy, Dragons frontal blades slam against Belials blade*

Drum: It's over now! Bur- Wait what!?

*Dragons bound lock began to move forward and it reached the critical point*

Bell: Divine Slasher!!

*Belials D-Gear jerks to the right instantly and slashes against Dragons layer, causing it to lose its remaining clicks and burst from the attack*

Drum: W-WHAT!?!

Bell: Yes! We won, we won!!!

Ranzo: Divine Belial with a Burst Finish! Bell Daikokuten wins with a score of 3-1!!

*Drums face was immediately turning red, he was not happy at his loss*

Drum: DEMON KING!! I WANT DO-OVER!!! THIS TIME I WILL SURELY WIN!!!

*Bell just smiled and crossed his arms, jumping onto Ranzo's shoulders to make himself look taller and intimidating*

Ranzo: A-Amigo..!!

Bell: The Demon King accepts your challenge, you like so many others are welcome to challenge me whenever you want!!

*Bell and Drum kept on battling and for once, Bell found someone who just might be a worthy challenge aside from Valt and Rashad*

---Meanwhile---

*Rashad Goodman had found Chiyoh Rei in the Sparking Arena and he didn't look pleased, he had heard about her destroying the blade of Chain Kerbeus*

Rashad: I heard about what happened!

Chiyoh: Word gets around fast doesn't it?

Rashad: This isn't right, you cannot go around destroying beys like an insane person.

Chiyoh: I can promise you i am sane, Kensuke was in my way of Valt so i cleared that hurdle!

Rashad: I understand wanting to even be on the same level as Valt but this isn't the way to do it, believe me i know.

Chiyoh: Was it the way you chose? When you tossed aside your Valkyrie and shattered Belial, when you do it you are seen as a Savior, a Hero...

*Rashad just looked at her, waiting for her next words. Chiyoh turned away from Rashad*

Chiyoh: When i do it, i all of a sudden become the enemy. That's not fair.

Rashad: I was wrong, i did that because i did not agree with Bell's way of Beyblade and how he went about things and in a small way i still don't but i've come to respect him and the impact he's left. You're not just aiming for Valt.. you're also after the Demon King too.. it all makes sense now.

Chiyoh: Maybe i am, you're right. I am after Bell, i will destroy him the same way you did, when the time is right of course.

Rashad: You don't have to do this, you're better than this, start acting like it.

Chiyoh: You're right. Why destroy just 2 beys when i can break them all, after i destroyed your Raphael, you are no longer a threat to me.

Rashad: What was that?

Chiyoh: You already lost to me and i destroyed your bey. Since you proved yourself weak to me, as far as i'm concerned, you are no longer a threat in my way.

Rashad: And Bell is?

Chiyoh: Bell and Valt are my final goals, Bell may just be a roadblock but he is a massive one. He is the only one in the way to Valt.

Rashad: You're not going to get away with this, i'd advise you stop while you still have a chance. Once your obsession completely engulfs you, there may be no stopping it by yourself.

*Chiyoh ignores him and walks away, Rashad just watched with a disappointed expression.*

Rashad: Good luck then..

---Later---

Bell: So Chiyoh has lost her marbles?

Rashad: That's a way of putting it but yes, yes she doesn't seem to be the same blader you used to know.

Bell: She is acting strange for sure.

Rashad: She destroyed my Raphael and she had just destroyed Kerbeus, she's becoming a threat now. It's best that we steer clear of her for now.

Bell: You really think we should?

Rashad: If she gets her hands on you then you could suffer the same fate.. again.

Bell: The Demon King will never be destroyed by someone like her, the only one who will be destroyed is her!

*Bell started to laugh but Rashad was just not having*

Rashad: Now is not a good time for your cocky remarks, i know this word isn't in your vocabulary of course but this is actually SERIOUS! Chiyoh is becoming dangerous.

Bell: What do you expect me to do? Tell her to stop? If it's strength she wants then it will be strength she will get!

Rashad: Bell, don't you dare go out and challenge her to a battle! She may have lost the battle to decide who got to battle Drum first but it is clear that she's getting stronger and stronger.

Bell: Fine...

*At that moment, the gates to the Theater Of Hell opened up and a new challenger had stepped through the doorway. It was Xhaka.*

Bell: Who's that?

Xhaka: I'm looking for Bell Daikokuten, The Demon Kin-

*Xhaka paused when he saw the short-stack that was Bell Daikokuten, the blader he was looking for.*

Bell: Who are you?

Xhaka: My name is Xhakuenji Kaiza, but just call me Xhaka. I'm gonna be honest, i thought you'd be a lot taller than this, it's an honor to finally meet you, Demon King.

*Bell took a step back as the Laughing Giant started laughing as hard as he could, his laughter shook the area*

Bell: Such a loudmouth.. 

Xhaka: Valt has told me a great many things about you, i've come here to battle.

Bell: You know Valt?

Rashad: I'm just gonna leave you guys be for now.

*Rashad just turned and left, leaving the two to their business*

Xhaka: Valt is a childhood friend of mine, i've known him for as long as i can remember. I'm one of his closest friends aside from Shu which i heard you had defeated recently.

Bell: So what's your angle? You think you can defeat the Demon King?

Xhaka: As a matter of fact i can, i have full confidence in my new bey that i will confidently predict the outcome of this battle.

Bell: Predict the outcome? What are you on about?

Xhaka: Your Divine Belial will be beaten in one strike!

Bell: In one strike you say? What kind of bey do you have to make that happen?!

*Xhaka pulled out his bey along with his new launcher which was a BU Sword Launcher, an upgrade from his Electric one.*

Xhaka: Demon King, this is my new BU Bey, Xiphoid Xcalibur!

Bell: Xiphoid Xcalibur?

Xhaka: It will be the bey that slays the Demon King for good.

Bell: It has a Sword..

Xhaka: Indeed, that is Xcaliburs most valiant and prominent feature. All the power will be concentrated into that one point!

*Xiphoid Xcalibur was the amalgamation of the previous Xcaliburs before it: Xeno Xcalibur, Sieg Xcalibur and Buster Xcalibur, all combined into one bey. The BU Bey featured a new Disk called Xanthus which was the Magnum disk ported to a BU Disk and a Sword' Driver along with a new 1 Armor. And just like Dragon, there seemed to be something different about this bey.*

Bell: If you're so confident that you'll defeat me in one strike then come and prove it!

*And with that, the battle had begun right then and there*

3 2 1 GO SHOOT!!!

*The beys were off and Belial raced around the stadium at full speed, Belial came charging in for the blow*

Bell: Now go!

Xhaka: Heh..

*Xcalibur came charging in as a streak of golden energy followed with the sword tip, Bell all of a sudden felt a surge of fear strike his heart*

Bell: oh no..

*Xcalibur clashes with Belial and the sword tip strikes Belials wings and it was burst within a fraction of a second*

Bell: N-No way.. that's the power of Xcalibur..

Xhaka: One strike, just like i said.

*Bell looked up at the titanic monster that was Xhaka, Bell had never felt such fear in his entire life. Bell felt very very very very small as Xhakas red and yellow aura glowed around him*
